1 Kings 21:15 ► |
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. Commentary on this verse: When, instead of a help meet, a man has an agent for Satan, in the form of an artful, unprincipled, yet beloved wife, fatal effects may be expected. Never were more wicked orders given by any prince, than those Jezebel sent to the rulers of Jezreel. Naboth must be murdered under colour of religion. There is no wickedness so vile, so horrid, but religion has sometimes been made a cover for it. Also, it must be done under colour of justice, and with the formalities of legal process. Let us, from this sad story, be amazed at the wickedness of the wicked, and the power of Satan in the children of disobedience. Let us commit the keeping of our lives and comforts to God, for innocence will not always be our security; and let us rejoice in the knowledge that all will be set to rights in the great day. Prayer for 1 Kings 19:12 : “After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was a voice, a soft whisper.” Praying through 1 Kings 19:12; Our prayer: Father God, we are humbled to realise that You have included us and our life, as part of Your plan for humanity. We realise more and more that we must decrease in every area of our life and entrust all circumstances into Your gracious hands... so that You may increase, and we may decrease. Use us, Lord, as You will, in Your wider plans and purposes, and develop in us an understanding heart and a listening ear to hear all You have to say to us. Teach us the lessons that You would have us to learn and keep us looking to Jesus. This we ask in His precious name, AMEN. Source: Prayer for 1 Kings 19:12 |
